The Devil and Daniel Johnston

In honor of the new Daniel Johnston movie coming out tomorrow on Sony Pictures Classics (which is appropriately called “The Devil And Daniel Johnston”), here are some of his albums found on Itunes:

More Songs of Pain
What of Whom
Yip / Jump Music
Continued Story / Hi, How Are You?
The Early Recordings Vol. 1
Fun

You may be wondering who the hell Daniel Johnston is: I don’t want to regurgitate various well-known blurbs about how he’s a manic-depressive crazy genius child-man songwriter who is well-respected by everyone from Sonic Youth to Sparklehorse to Yo La Tengo and how he once tried to crash himself and his father in an airplane, because then perhaps I might be giving away parts of this movie that you are of course planning to go watch as soon as it comes out.

How’s that for a sentence.
